For the redzone case (no stack frame) with exception_boundary, this
formula computes R23 at offset -80 and R24 at offset -72 from R1.
However, bpf_stf_barrier() uses hardcoded offsets -80(1) and -72(1) to
temporarily save R21 and R22 during STF barrier execution:
asm (
" bpf_stf_barrier: ;"
" std 21,-80(1) ;"
" std 22,-72(1) ;"
" sync ;"
" ld 21,-80(1) ;"
" ld 22,-72(1) ;"
...
);
When an exception_boundary program without its own stack frame executes a
memory load that triggers STF_BARRIER_FALLBACK, can bpf_stf_barrier()
corrupt the saved R23 and R24 values? The hardcoded offsets would overlap
with the extended NVR save area.
If exception_cb later restores these registers, it would get R21/R22 values
instead of the original R23/R24 values.
